And I agree that there were some things that American kids may not get due to the Australian setting.Kara Frederickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06202192577994106198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-482209358718993270.post-89468596858867617392008-01-14T19:09:00.000-08:002008-01-14T19:09:00.000-08:00I must have missed the tip reference, but veranda ...I must have missed the tip reference, but veranda escapes me - bangs? I couldn't find veranda (other than patio) in Aussie slang or dictionary sites.<BR/><BR/>I was a bit taken short by asking what <B>countries</B> were called before they broke up (Gondwanaland)???

It is a Yay and I'll be glad to discuss with others.kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09855924557246763088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-482209358718993270.post-2354829880515349282007-11-27T13:53:00.000-08:002007-11-27T13:53:00.000-08:00I enjoyed this one, too, but I wasn't sure that i...I enjoyed this one, too, but I wasn't sure that it would translate well for teens who don't know what a tip is. I'm giving it to one of my teens to read and give me her opinion, but I'd say Maybe for now.Irishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09863341800329199974noreply@blogger.com
